"All" that is left on my plane is the cowl and engine. When I ordered the kit, I was planning an o-320 with a carb. The engine core is an O-320-E2A (150 HP, vertical induction)
I'm now planning to convert it to an IO-320, 160 HP.
I've seen several references on this site that say I will need a "360 cowl" for the vertical fuel injection servo. The bottom cowl I have is part number COWL,6/6A BOT. 0-320
I'm not sure what the difference would be between a carb and a vertical servo - but maybe there is one as far as how the FAB interacts with the cowl.
My plan was to mount the engine bottom end (to position the spinner backplate) and then mount the top and bottom cowl to the fuselage... all prior to building the engine.
I don't want to waste work on this if I need a different bottom cowl.
Any info would be great. What is the difference between a "320 cowl" and a "360 cowl" anyway?
